[SDL] suface flags question

[Brian]

Hi.

A lot of the SDL flags may not be available. SDL tries to give you as
close to what you asked for. However, on linux I believe you cannot
get a hardware surface without running as root (which is a bit much ),
and on windows I think you can only get a hardware surface in
fullscreen mode. The video drive affects the flags available too, it's
different under GDI and DirectDraw. I don't know what SDL_HWACCEL
does, I think its probably an internal flag you shoudln't be setting.
